Quantum Computing Threat May Force Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Holdings to Move

The emergence of quantum computing technology could expose the identity and security of Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, according to Cypherpunk pioneer Adam Back. Back believes that future quantum computers may break existing cryptographic signatures used in Bitcoin, forcing early Bitcoin holders like Nakamoto to move their funds to addresses resistant to these attacks. 20 years out, he says, this will be a stark reality for Bitcoin holders.
